Wole soyinka has lost every respect from me since he was exposed a hypocrite he sure is after the death of Chinua Achebe, he went on to denigrate the man, him and his many senseless brothers. Why should an old man like ws not be restrained from public glare, seeing he is becoming more of an embarrasment to our collective sensitivities. The law of diminishing return i guess, the old man might end up a mad man..

utumunta: He who descends into an arena of conflict cannot avoid the dust of encounter. Soyinka has elected to suffer from diarrhea of the mouth, in recent times, and the sacred garb of dignity that has shielded him over the years has given way.
The mudslinging had just begun and it tends to be more interesting than the barbaric disposition of Hon Lloyd and co at the Rivers assembly complex.
I expect a rejoinder from the egg-head soon.

Whilst I am not a big fan of Soyinka on many maters, I find it difficult to understand the fact that an educated SA or PA agreed to release that statement on behalf of Madam GEJ.
O Mase ! What is this country turning into?
By the way, Soyinka has every right to intervene in any national discourse of his choice. He has a better chance of being heard than most of the 160 million of us.
Ride on Prof! Speak for us who have become voiceless.

birdman:

no leave her. She and her yam head husband will leave office back into obscurity one day.

Till then zip it coconut head!..talking about obscurity,many of you mannerless peeps have been living in obscurity from birth and might probably go down 6feet in absolute obscurity..

Mr Ayo Osinlu think twice o. Omo yoruba ronu...Late Gbenga Adeboye. Don't sell your kinsman for a loaf of bread that will soon finish.

I just hope first madam can even read d big grammar her spokes-boy wrote.

slap1: Patience cannot even understand a stanza of Soyinka's easiest poems, yet she runs her illiterate, 'umbleralistic', sewage-pit of a mouth at him. Even in death, Stella Obasanjo is a better First Lady than that pumped-up frog called Patience.

Damn! I bet she felt that...

carzola: close your sha-coal teeth, soyinka should go and look into his own state and leave rivers alone... Ameachi is a failure, and patience is a beautiful and hard working 1st landy we voted them in so lets alow them perform.

I think it it you that need to shut up.

Point of correction, i did not vote and never voted for these goons because they are just bunch of criminals, rather it is you and your greedy family that voted just because you received 2 derica or rice and few cubes if maggi along with cooking oil from she and her husband.

I am yet to see a positivr impact if her husbands administration in the lives of nigerians rather than causing mayhem and comotion.

I know you will defend him with boko haram, i tell you he is the real boko haram, he used boko haram to destabilize the north just as he tried uaing maulag and others to destroy south west, but the south west was wise enoth to avert it, she and her husband are back to rivers state just for the case of their greedy souls.

Damn you all together, i do not care Bleep, fuxk your greedy stomach and to hell with you and your leader

teskyg: Where was Wole Soyinka when Tinubu selected Iyaloja,toll Lagos and continue to rip Lagos blind?The only Legacy he has left is Cultism.Frank Nweke putt him where he belongs during Obasanjo regime if we recalled.

Is this really how you write 'English' or you are trying to pull a Yuzedo? Either way, you need help!

First madam is now based in rivers instead of ASO ROCK...
Perm .Sec in Bayelsa now based in Rivers....

Anyway, na her village b dat. So she get right to stay there

My_Time: Is Wole Soyinka God? He has betrayed the confidence most of us had in him. Sometimes we have to put respected people in their place when they cross the boundary of decorum and respect. Wole Soyinka should zip it! He needs proper dosage of flagil for his running mouth!!
^^^^^^^^
I Still maintain that PEJ has no moral justification to talk back at the Prof. Her only portfolio is being the wife of the president. Soyinka has achieved a lot and demands respect. He is one of our national icons and a gift to this nation. He commands more respect outside the shores of this country than PEJ can ever get so she should be the one to zip it... IMO

Soyinka's achievements are not the issue here. The fact is that the man has mi-yanned. I love the man's books but he is definitely NOT God. He is using the wrong premises to conclude a case. You all remember how Achebe mis-yanned sometime ago in his book 'There was a country' and the wahala the book generated. I hope Soyinka will not join in that kind of mis-yanning. He could as well close his mouth once in a while.

slap1: Patience should get a trust-worthy aide to interpret these press statements in her local language for her, before they are flung to the media. It is very possible that she said one thing and her subservient aides wrote something else in a spontaneous bid to live up to their bloated pay-cheques.

Nah, I bet anything Patience was like "He talky seh wetin? Oya, Mr.Pless Lepeesentative , cuss am... ATTRACKT AM WITH BIG ENGRISH OYINBO ...make u helep me cuss am wellu wellu make e no seh me and am no be mate because I am Number one lady to the Plesident".

Abagworo: Little do these people know that if Soyinka calls for a mass action and demands for Jonathan to step down for his role in the various bombings, oil bunkering, subsidy fraud and Rivers State crisis, this regime will end.

Hilarious post, end the regime indeed . . . How the regime wan begin end . . .

ekolina: noble laurent ma foot.......wat has wole soyinka contributed to d development of dis nation, apart from d introduction of cultism

Eediota demmented clueeeles goaat go and ask your father if hes still alive what WS contributed to the nation.oh God whats happening to children of today.

sheniqua: I said it earlier that the prof is losing it
This is the same man that told us it was Ok for Patience Jonathan to be made a perm sec in Bayelsa
The same man that cried that Achebe was called the father of African literature
Now taking a swipe at the first lady
Maybe old age is setting in
He needs to watch his tongue,he is mis stepping a lot these days

No he isn't losing it.

He stands on the side of truth at a particular time whether it is at variant with previous statements or not.

I would have love it if Dame wrote the press statement herself. It will provide a rich and fascinating materials for a new drama from the Prof.

carzola: close your sha-coal teeth, soyinka should go and look into his own state and leave rivers alone... Ameachi is a failure, and patience is a beautiful and hard working 1st landy we voted them in so lets alow them perform.

slowpoke...

Madam good luck dosent even know what this is all about, she left one small fry to handle any defensive gramma, why bother when barking dosent scare the stranger.

It would take PEJ another decided of her life to be a lady, maybe another decade to be a first lady, that sum up as 2 decade (twenty years) with her current age, then she would be near the grave:

BTW
I noticed lots of like on this thread, pls like my post too na

Diatribe, Self-righteously indignant lecterns, stoking, standing on clay feet, fail the test of a gentle push...these are words and idioms the First lady doesn't understand not to talk of pronouncing. Someone is obviously trying to impress the good, old prof. with grammar!

BekeeBuAgbara: If not hearsay what other evidence does Prof. Soyinka have to criticize Patience Jonathan over River state conflict, you don't unnecessarily castigate others publicly and expect them to respect you and keep quiet because you are a noble prize winner.
If he was not bias, he could have cautioned Amaechi for storming into the assembly's complex with his thugs.

The Prof. should be held responsible for the consequences of his unwarranted provocation.

It is no brainer for anybody to understand what is happening in the Nigerian political scene especially in Rivers State. Even a 5 year old can tell you. Unless of course your stance is beclouded with ethnic sentiments or whatever gain you may be having. I mean, from 19 votes to 16 in the NGF Chairmanship election to five Honourable members trying to impeach the speaker, what more evidence do you need? The truth is, I don't care about any of these politicians because they are all the same, but we as the ordinary citizens should be able to stand up for the truth and call our politicians to order. You may think you are now comfortable and care less of their actions, but guess what? When the shit hits the fan, it will become a case of a chicken that is perched on a rope: the rope is not comfortable neither is the chicken. We are all in this together!

magaliyu: i pity this woman and her husband,

Pity yourself and your boyfriend. That's if you have any oo.

may God help Nigeria
From the people of southwest perspective wole Soyinka is now God and have monopoly to insult anybody, even the wife of erected president without been challenged?

olayiwola-aims:
With all this response on prof by fellow NL..I just realise that this country has no where to go than to sink.. Whts d different btw u guyz and PEJ?...and who the hell is PEJ to b talking to a whole Nobel laureate...smh ..

You are just a sarcastic swine. For the record, this is a defamatory accusation to the first lady.If he's trying to sell another book let him use his pen rather than his mouth. Nobel laureate didnt come as a result of hurtful opposition or accusation, but thoughtful creativity written and edited for publication. I dont respect WS as a speaker on matters arising, but an academician.

Is it patience jonathan that used the maze in a murderous manner or was she the one that supervised it. Wole soyinka needs to be treated for jaundice so he could see properly

Controversy: may God help Nigeria
From the people of southwest perspective wole Soyinka is now God and have monopoly to insult anybody, even the wife of erected president without been challenged?

LMAOOOOOOOOOO

See why Prof.Soyinka is fighting on behalf of you clowns?

That fat uglybitch taking on WS ? Hahaha


It's only in Nigeria that such stupidity can happen when a stu+pid woman will stupidily make stu+pid comments that will make stu+pid folks spu+pidly wonder how stu+pidity can vary in class from low class stupidity to excutive stupidity as stupidily displayed by a stu+pid first lady Patience Jonathan !

Very stup+id uglybitch !

Chinaimporter:

[size=18pt]i do not care if the prof is right or wrong but all i can categoricaly say is that if he right,the first lady was wrong to insult him and if he is wrong,the first lady will be too dull to know so all in all the first lady was wrong[/size]

you yorubas are known for idolisation and idol worship, witchcraft, socery name it. You worship stones (ogun), coconut(ifa), lizards, plates, spoons etc and now you ve just made wole soyinka one of your newest gods. To we that doesn't count, WS is just a fetish hypocrite who walks about bare foot, unkempt hair and beards, the old hag needs to get a life for real, who the hell is he to keep raining insults on the president's wife. Is it because wole is not legally married that he is abusing another man's wife? How much does he recieve as freebies from apc that is driving him mad at his old age, this should have gone on a thorough research before making his inane assertions public.

Pygru:
dat one come give am the leeway to run him mouth

If na u nko? U go talk more then sef parrot #team paro

In all these, one thing, and one thing alone, stands clear and true: PEJ DEFINITELY did not write this, probably cannot pronounce all the words well sef. Speech writer well done o, nice write-up

harlos: Why did they unzipped dis woman's mouth, she no suppose to dey talk

Na your native mama sopoz talk

PEJ is a "mere domestic appendage' and those who know her should advice her to shut up please! Take GEJ out of the scene and who does she become?...A Perm Sec in Bayelsa abi? Is there a provision for her office in the constitution? A supposed wife of Mr President presence at the wedding of the displayed thug Hon Bipi should call for concern....I see Jezebel trying take over the leadership of the Kingdom from Ahab!! But we all know the end of Jezebel in the bible ...
